Hi Anonymous ,

 

We can create a color table and three color measure to meet your requirement.

 

1. Create a color table that contains red, green and yellow.

 

 

2. Create three measures and configure each field’s background.

 

 

Green measure = 
var selected_color = SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Color])
return 
IF(ISBLANK(selected_color),"Green",IF(selected_color in {"Green"},"Green",BLANK()))

 

 

 

Red Measure = 
var selected_color = SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Color])
return 
IF(ISBLANK(selected_color),"Red",IF(selected_color in {"Red"},"Red",BLANK()))

 

 

 

Yellow measure = 
var selected_color = SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Color])
return 
IF(ISBLANK(selected_color),"Yellow",IF(selected_color in {"Yellow"},"Yellow",BLANK()))

 

 

 

 

3. At last we can get the result like this,

 

 

 

 

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that we have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

 

Best regards,

    Hi1

     

    Thanks for your answer, unfortunately that wont be applicable in my scenerio, I just want those threee traffic light signals that I ahve in the screen shot provided to activate when any one is clicked and the other two to be deactivated, for example if red is clicked , the green and yellow should be deactivated and so and so forth.

     Thanks
